phew. I am quite proud of my handiwork and would love any of your comments. I have spent many hours on this room because I wanted a look I could take with us to our own house when we move next summer.
Other news is that we took some maternity photos this week (36) and as soon as I get some I will post...thanks to my friend Patrea:)
Also, I'm on limited physical activity (aka at home bedrest) for the rest of my pregnancy--what do I do? I can only read and watch TV so much!

So... what's the E stand for??? Are you announcing the name yet? I can think of several "E" girl names that I love. Emma, Eleanor, Elizabeth, Ella, Estelle, Eliza, etc. etc. etc.
Beautiful! Every little detail! love the colors, the fabrics, all of it!
Hope you're feeling exceptional, and getting the rest you need!
Drink lots of water and practice breathing and relaxing thru those early ctx.! Little "E" will be here before you know it!!
wow, amazing! good job!! wish i were more like you:)
It all looks so good! You did a GREAT job! I am sure you can not wait to have her here now! :)
I LOVE the wall circles with the letter E!!
I think the room looks awesome! Great job. Do you knit or crochet? If not, you could learn and make lots of booties : )
SOO So cute, you did a great job! It was refreashing to see something different!! Love it! How come you are on bedrest?
I love it! you did such an awesome job! love, love, love, love, love,love, love it!!!! if you get bored on bedrest, call or email..... :-)
Adorable! I love it. That little girl is going to be in heaven. Can Nate and I come visit you? I'm sure he'd love to come and try to talk to his 'cousin' before she gets here!
Beautiful! I love the bed spread and pillows. You are so talented. Glider is amazing too. Love it all.
Why are you on bed rest???
The nursery looks AMAZING! I am so impressed. I can't believe you did that all for just over $120. You are so talented. It will be so nice to bring your baby home to a place like that :) It will be perfect.
Can't wait to see your pregnancy pics!!
I have been waiting to see these pictures! I LOVE that quilt, it is beautiful! You did a great job with everything.
As for bedrest activities, I blogged (obviously), Neal and I wrote letters to the baby, wrote holographic wills (not fun, but important), played soduku, wrote letters to long-lost friends. I also got into a couple of series that were on DVD, which helped the time go faster. Good luck...you're almost there!!
